CHRIS EUBANK JR paid a visit to Manchester United's Carrington training ground today - but was greeted by a bemused expression from new signing Alexis Sanchez.

Eubank Jr is in Manchester ahead of Saturday night’s boxing action when he will take on WBA super-middleweight champion George Groves.

The winner of Groves vs Eubank Jr will face either Jurgen Braehmer or Callum Smith in the summer final of the World Boxing Series, although the venue of that is yet to be confirmed.

But this Saturday will see Eubank Jr fight in Manchester and while the likes of Michael Carrick and Phil Jones appeared to recognised the 28-year-old, Sanchez looked baffled to be introduced to the boxer.
